The Founder of Accidental Cajun Experiences
One of the great archetypes of literature is going home. Sometimes instead of finding a home, home finds you. The search for home can be intentional, or as, in my case, accidental – a chance encounter at a bar in Jersey. And you embark on a journey that you never imagined.
That was my life, a NYC chef who met a Cajun woman from Louisiana in a barroom in Jersey. The next thing I knew, almost by accident, I was living in New Orleans; but more importantly, New Orleans was living in me. While my personal relationship didn’t last, my love for the city, its people, and its culture did. It’s an abiding relationship, and one I want to share with you.
I’ve spent years working in the city as an award winning chef, journalist and photographer, immersing myself in everything the city has to offer. Memorable nights at 7th ward barrooms and 9th ward juke joints; long days on the Uptown Mardi Gras parade route; years of cooking and eating throughout the city; following second lines through the streets; covering music festivals and community events. If it’s happening I’m there. And throughout these years, my colleagues have become friends, my friends have become family, and the city has become my home.
My New Orleans is a deep, soulful place animated by its people, music, cuisine and traditions. This is the city I want you to see. Through uniquely curated experiences, you’ll see the city through the eyes of a passionate local, with the reverence and respect it deserves. Come join me, and let’s dig into the city. Culture. Cuisine. Community. Below sea level. Above ground.
